JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)

Executive Summary

JPMorgan Chase is, in our view, the single best-run large financial institution in the world, and the numbers leave little room for argument. The firm earned $57.5 billion in 2025 on $185 billion of managed revenue, produced a 20% return on tangible common equity, and entered 2026 with a 14.5% CET1 ratio and roughly $1.5 trillion of total loss-absorbing capacity. First-quarter 2026 results extended the streak: $16.5 billion of net income, $5.94 of EPS (up 17% year over year), and a 23% ROTCE that no peer of comparable scale comes close to matching. The First Republic acquisition has been digested, the Commercial & Investment Bank is taking share in markets and advisory, and Asset & Wealth Management now oversees $4.8 trillion. This is a compounding machine of extraordinary quality.
